There's a Gnu Free Documentation License http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html and the Creative Commons Licenses http://creativecommons.org/about/licenses/meet-the-licenses we might be happier of our documentation was under one of those. When the Gnu Free Doc license came out, a whole lot of people switched to it from have GPL'd their documentation -- so apparantly this is doable. I am not sure on the details of how, though. Anybody know? Laura
